Polaris Predator

The Polaris predator is probably the ultimate powerhouse in the ATV All Terrain Vehicle world. Polaris is a company that makes ATVs and snowmobiles probably rated the most powerful. This ATV comes in four versions which all boast some superiority over their competitors. They are the Predator 500 Predator Troy Lee Edition Polaris Predator 90 and the Predator 50.

When you drive an ATV one of the safety concerns is your brakes. The brake lines are made from braided steel. These are stronger and promise you consistent braking. Polaris also uses chromyl which is stronger than steel competitors use to make the axle. The skid plate for the predator is made from compression molded UMHW polyethylene which makes it more reliable in terms of safety. Premium Fox racing shox are the shock absorbers put into all predators.

These factors have propelled the predator ATVs to the top of the ATV list. This is because of the safety features and the sheer power of these machines. Each of the Polaris predators has unique specifications that make it attractive to buyers. The Polaris 500 has an electric engine that has a displacement of 499ccs with a 4 stroke DOHC engine. They also have a very good cooling system important of powerful vehicles. It boasts a Mikuni 42mm BSr carburetion.

In addition to all this the drivetrain is a 5 speed transmission with the option of having either manual drive shift or drive clutch. The suspension system is also top of the line with the front being dual Aarm suspension and a non link swig arm for the rear. All these factored in make the Polaris predator a leader of industry.

Motor Cycle Speeding

I have been riding motor cycles for 40 years and have never had a speeding fine or any other traffic infringement whilst riding.

During my driving/riding years I have travelled in excess of 2.5 million kilometers and still find it difficult to comprehend how any authority can place an arbitrary speed limit on any given section of road.To compound the problem we receive constant reminders of the impact of such arbitrary regulations in the form of continual police enforcement for minor infringements such as the issue of infringements for speed excesses of just 8 to 10 over the posted limit.

Well I can’t speak for all riders but in my case I find it extremely dangerous to be constantly looking down to monitor your speed every few seconds coupled with the simple fact that most modern day motor cycles have graduations on the speedometer which escalate in 20km intervals over a very short range of movement it becomes difficult to maintain a speed within a small range.

Does not seem to be too much of a problem until a police officer with a hand held or other form of speed detection device pings you at a specific moment in time when you happen to exceed the limit for a short period of time.

A very frustrating experience recently reminded me how we are all subjected to unnecessary stresses in modern society. A return journey of 500 kms to my home ended in a 20 minute debate discussing the very issue with a constable who was barely old enough to drive insisting that I was a danger to other road users as he checked my speed at 106kms/hr in a 100 zone. Life can deliver a good laugh. Thank god for grey hair !!!!!!!!!!!
